      x86: Eliminate TS_XSAVE · c9ad4882
      Avi Kivity 提交于
      The fpu code currently uses current->thread_info->status & TS_XSAVE as
      a way to distinguish between XSAVE capable processors and older processors.
      The decision is not really task specific; instead we use the task status to
      avoid a global memory reference - the value should be the same across all
      threads.
      
      Eliminate this tie-in into the task structure by using an alternative
      instruction keyed off the XSAVE cpu feature; this results in shorter and
      faster code, without introducing a global memory reference.

      core, x86: Add user return notifiers · 7c68af6e
      Avi Kivity 提交于
      Add a general per-cpu notifier that is called whenever the kernel is
      about to return to userspace.  The notifier uses a thread_info flag
      and existing checks, so there is no impact on user return or context
      switch fast paths.
      
      This will be used initially to speed up KVM task switching by lazily
      updating MSRs.

      perf_counter: unify and fix delayed counter wakeup · 925d519a
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      While going over the wakeup code I noticed delayed wakeups only work
      for hardware counters but basically all software counters rely on
      them.
      
      This patch unifies and generalizes the delayed wakeup to fix this
      issue.
      
      Since we're dealing with NMI context bits here, use a cmpxchg() based
      single link list implementation to track counters that have pending
      wakeups.
      
      [ This should really be generic code for delayed wakeups, but since we
        cannot use cmpxchg()/xchg() in generic code, I've let it live in the
        perf_counter code. -- Eric Dumazet could use it to aggregate the
        network wakeups. ]
      
      Furthermore, the x86 method of using TIF flags was flawed in that its
      quite possible to end up setting the bit on the idle task, loosing the
      wakeup.
      
      The powerpc method uses per-cpu storage and does appear to be
      sufficient.

      x86: uaccess: introduce try and catch framework · fe40c0af
      Hiroshi Shimamoto 提交于
      Impact: introduce new uaccess exception handling framework
      
      Introduce {get|put}_user_try and {get|put}_user_catch as new uaccess exception
      handling framework.
      {get|put}_user_try begins exception block and {get|put}_user_catch(err) ends
      the block and gets err if an exception occured in {get|put}_user_ex() in the
      block. The exception is stored thread_info->uaccess_err.
      
      The example usage of this framework is below;
      int func()
      {
      	int err = 0;
      
      	get_user_try {
      		get_user_ex(...);
      		get_user_ex(...);
      		:
      	} get_user_catch(err);
      
      	return err;
      }
      
      Note: get_user_ex() is not clear the value when an exception occurs, it's
      different from the behavior of __get_user(), but I think it doesn't matter.

      Change x86_64's thread_info 'flags' field back to __u32.
      
      This was changed to 'unsigned long' when the thread_info*.h
      for i386 and x86_64 were merged.  Change it back.  We can
      do this as only 27 bits of 'flags' are actually used.
      
      This change actually packs down thread_info by 64 bits:
      32 bits are saved by the smaller flags, and 32 bits are
      saved by the following 'mm_segment_t field' becoming
      naturally 64-bit aligned.

      tracing/function-return-tracer: add the overrun field · 0231022c
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Impact: help to find the better depth of trace
      
      We decided to arbitrary define the depth of function return trace as
      "20". Perhaps this is not enough. To help finding an optimal depth, we
      measure now the overrun: the number of functions that have been missed
      for the current thread. By default this is not displayed, we have to
      do set a particular flag on the return tracer: echo overrun >
      /debug/tracing/trace_options And the overrun will be printed on the
      right.
      
      As the trace shows below, the current 20 depth is not enough.

      tracing, x86: add low level support for ftrace return tracing · caf4b323
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Impact: add infrastructure for function-return tracing
      
      Add low level support for ftrace return tracing.
      
      This plug-in stores return addresses on the thread_info structure of
      the current task.
      
      The index of the current return address is initialized when the task
      is the first one (init) and when a process forks (the child). It is
      not needed when a task does a sys_execve because after this syscall,
      it still needs to return on the kernel functions it called.
      
      Note that the code of return_to_handler has been suggested by Steven
      Rostedt as almost all of the ideas of improvements in this V3.
      
      For purpose of security, arch/x86/kernel/process_32.c is not traced
      because __switch_to() changes the current task during its execution.
      That could cause inconsistency in the stored return address of this
      function even if I didn't have any crash after testing with tracing on
      this function enabled.

      Right, I never liked having to fiddle with those TIF flags. Initially I
      needed it because the hrtimer base lock could not nest in the rq lock.
      That however is fixed these days.
      
      Currently the only reason left to fiddle with the TIF flags is remote
      wakeups. We cannot program a remote cpu's hrtimer. I've been thinking
      about using the new and improved IPI function call stuff to implement
      hrtimer_start_on().
      
      However that does require that smp_call_function_single(.wait=0) works
      from interrupt context - /me looks at the latest series from Jens - Yes
      that does seem to be supported, good.
      
      Here's a stab at cleaning this stuff up ...

      x86 ptrace: unify syscall tracing · d4d67150
      Roland McGrath 提交于
      This unifies and cleans up the syscall tracing code on i386 and x86_64.
      
      Using a single function for entry and exit tracing on 32-bit made the
      do_syscall_trace() into some terrible spaghetti.  The logic is clear and
      simple using separate syscall_trace_enter() and syscall_trace_leave()
      functions as on 64-bit.
      
      The unification adds PTRACE_SYSEMU and PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP support
      on x86_64, for 32-bit ptrace() callers and for 64-bit ptrace() callers
      tracing either 32-bit or 64-bit tasks.  It behaves just like 32-bit.
      
      Changing syscall_trace_enter() to return the syscall number shortens
      all the assembly paths, while adding the SYSEMU feature in a simple way.

      x86 ptrace: unify TIF_SINGLESTEP · 64f09733
      Roland McGrath 提交于
      This unifies the treatment of TIF_SINGLESTEP on i386 and x86_64.
      The bit is now excluded from _TIF_WORK_MASK on i386 as it has been
      on x86_64.  This means the do_notify_resume() path using it is never
      used, so TIF_SINGLESTEP is not cleared on returning to user mode.
      
      Both now leave TIF_SINGLESTEP set when returning to user, so that
      it's already set on an int $0x80 system call entry.  This removes
      the need for testing TF on the system_call path.  Doing it this way
      fixes the regression for PTRACE_SINGLESTEP into a sigreturn syscall,
      introduced by commit 1e2e99f0.
      
      The clear_TF_reenable case that sets TIF_SINGLESTEP can only happen
      on a non-exception kernel entry, i.e. sysenter/syscall instruction.
      That will always get to the syscall exit tracing path.
